Filter by interaction and/or warning

Drug interactions

Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

lansoprazole pralsetinib

Applies to: lansoprazole, pralsetinib

Pralsetinib may alter the blood levels and effects of lansoprazole.

Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications.

Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects.

It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Major food/lifestyle interactions

Major:

Food/Lifestyle pralsetinib

Applies to: pralsetinib

Food should not be consumed for at least 2 hours before and at least 1 hour after taking pralsetinib.

Do not consume:

  • grapefruit
  • grapefruit juice
  • any supplements that contain grapefruit
  • Seville oranges
  • Seville orange juice

These products can increase the blood levels of pralsetinib.

This may increase the risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as:

  • lung problems
  • liver problems
  • high blood pressure
  • fatigue
  • muscle and joint pain
  • bleeding complications

Some sources also warn that combining these medicines could increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a relatively rare side effect. You may be more susceptible if you have a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome, other cardiac disease, conduction abnormalities, or electrolyte disturbance (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting).

Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Disease interactions

12 potential interactionsApplies to: 10 conditions, including High Blood Pressure, Osteoporosis, Diarrhea, Hypokalemia, and Hypocalcemia.

Diarrhea

Major:

lansoprazole

Lansoprazole has a major potential interaction with Diarrhea.

Published observational studies suggest that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), especially in hospitalized patients. This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve. It is recommended that patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Close monitoring is recommended in patients with diarrhea and in those taking antibacterial agents as CDAD has been reported with the use of nearly all these agents. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C. difficile. C. difficile produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the development of CDAD. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.

High Blood Pressure

Moderate:

pralsetinib

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

Hypertension has been reported in patients in treatment with pralsetinib. This drug should not be initiated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Caution and close monitoring is advised.

Hypocalcemia

Moderate:

pralsetinib

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Hypocalcemia.

QT prolongation was reported in clinical trials in patients that received pralsetinib. Use with caution in patients with history of arrhythmias, QT prolongation or taking medications that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors). Monitor QT interval and serum electrolytes before initiation and regularly during treatment. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia should be corrected prior and during treatment.

Hypokalemia

Moderate:

pralsetinib

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

QT prolongation was reported in clinical trials in patients that received pralsetinib. Use with caution in patients with history of arrhythmias, QT prolongation or taking medications that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors). Monitor QT interval and serum electrolytes before initiation and regularly during treatment. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia should be corrected prior and during treatment.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

lansoprazole

Lansoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Lansoprazole is primarily metabolized by the liver. Although the drug is generally well-tolerated, dosage adjustments with cautious titration should be considered in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Moderate:

pralsetinib

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Pralsetinib has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. Additionally, clinical trials reported hepatotoxicity in some patients receiving treatment. Caution and close monitoring is advised if administering in patients with hepatic impairment.

Long QT Syndrome

Moderate:

pralsetinib

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Long QT Syndrome.

QT prolongation was reported in clinical trials in patients that received pralsetinib. Use with caution in patients with history of arrhythmias, QT prolongation or taking medications that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors). Monitor QT interval and serum electrolytes before initiation and regularly during treatment. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia should be corrected prior and during treatment.

Magnesium Imbalance

Moderate:

lansoprazole

Lansoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Magnesium Imbalance.

Symptomatic and asymptomatic hypomagnesemia has been reported rarely in patients treated with PPIs for at least 3 months, in most cases after a year of therapy. Serious adverse events can include tetany, seizures, and arrhythmias. Caution should be used in patients prone to magnesium imbalances such as patients taking other medications that can cause hypomagnesemia (e.g., diuretics). Regular monitoring is recommended.

Moderate:

pralsetinib

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Magnesium Imbalance.

QT prolongation was reported in clinical trials in patients that received pralsetinib. Use with caution in patients with history of arrhythmias, QT prolongation or taking medications that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors). Monitor QT interval and serum electrolytes before initiation and regularly during treatment. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia should be corrected prior and during treatment.

Osteoporosis

Moderate:

lansoprazole

Lansoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Osteoporosis.

Various published observational studies have reported that PPI therapy may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis related fractures of the hip, wrist or spine. The risk was increased in patients who received high doses (multiple daily doses), and long term treatment (a year or longer). Patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Caution should be used in patients at risk for osteoporosis related fractures and should be managed according to established treatment guidelines.

Pseudomembranous Colitis

Major:

lansoprazole

Lansoprazole has a major potential interaction with Pseudomembranous Colitis.

Published observational studies suggest that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), especially in hospitalized patients. This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve. It is recommended that patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Close monitoring is recommended in patients with diarrhea and in those taking antibacterial agents as CDAD has been reported with the use of nearly all these agents. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C. difficile. C. difficile produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the development of CDAD. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

pralsetinib

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Pralsetinib has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease. Caution is advised if administering in these patients.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
